Hi,

New version, but no news on making ODAC, SDAC fully Windows Vista, Windows 7 compatable?

*) ConnectForm (still) requre administrative rights.....
*) The demos is still placed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\Odac for RAD Studio 2010\Demos and not under C:\Users\\Documents\Devart\Odac for RAD Studio 2010\Demos so administrative rights is requred for them to build....

Please check out http://www.icetips.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/31/title

Please make them fully Windows/Delphi compatible.....

Hello,

We are working on this problem.
We plan to update installation packages of DAC products for compatibility with Windows Vista and Windows 7 in one of the next builds.

Just had this problem, two new computers in a few months, and only a problem on my new one, Windows7, 64, Delphi XE, Odac 8...

Hello,

We added the possibility of directory choise for demo projects installation into the installer (and when installing, you can specify the directory to which your user has permission to write.)
If you need to use ConnectionDialog and you have no rights for writing to the folder where ODAC is installed to, you should move the ConnectForm.pas module to the directory with your application.

I know there is a workaround - changing the access rights also works - just thought you wanted to know that the default behavior is strange. It is also not clear where to direct the install...

Hello,

Since the ConnectionFrom is supplied as source code, the only possibility of using this module (when there is no permission to write to the folder with the installed product), is moving this module to the folder containing the project. We cannot distribute this module together with demo projects, as, when installing a product, users have an opportunity to cancel the demo projects installation, and thereafter, in this case, the ConnectionFrom module won't be available.

How about installing the module with other units?

Hello,

The ConnectForm.pas module lies in a folder with the other *.DCU modules, but, as while compiling it is impossible to create the ConnectForm.dcu in this folder (no rights), this error occurs. The other modules remain as ready DCUs and doesn't require recompilation. For this reason such problem doesn't occur.
